Fiona Middleton

rom Colin Barnes and Steve McDonald but found little to keep her on the street and, after discovering that Denise was pregnant in June 1994, she planned to find another job until Ken Barlow pointed out that Denise would require her assistance more than ever when she went on maternity leave.

When Denise absconded in 1996, she left the salon to Fiona who ran it under the name of 'Hair by Fiona Middleton' for the next two years, employing her best friend Maxine Heavey.

After a rocky start, Fiona began a relationship with Steve, moving into a flat with him in Weatherfield Quays, but eventually ending up living with him in the flat above Jim's Cafe in Rosamund Street. Steve became distracted by his first love, Vicky Arden- breaking Fiona's heart - but not before some heavies had threatened her due to Steve's gambling debts.

After moving into the salon flat, Fiona started a relationship with police detective  Alan McKenna but had a one night stand with Steve's father  Jim  in  July 1997 and subsequently fell pregnant with the paternity in doubt. Jim exposed Fiona's infidelity during her wedding to Alan leading Alan to abandon her- although he was later confirmed to be the father of her son Morgan.

Fiona attempted a reunion with Steve after Morgan's birth but upon discovering that he had cheated on her with Maxine, she walked out of his life. Away from the street she gave birth to a daughter, Emma in 1999 who was raised by her husband John Brooker. After separating from John, Fiona moved to Australia where she currently resides.

Biography
Fiona worked as assistant, and later manager of Denise's salon. She then ran the salon as her own business.

Fiona continued to live in the flat after Steve left, later sharing it with colleague Maxine Heavey. She then went out with Tony Horrocks. Her brother Lee lent her £4,500 for one year for the lease on the salon in February 1996, and the next month she moved out of the cafe flat and into the flat above the salon - 2a Coronation Street.
